As the day draws to a close,are you having trouble finishing your work? You don't need to end up with a sense of failure.In the hours left,the following ways can help you get things done to have a sense of achievement.

1.Trick yourself.

【小题1】.So,try this: add something to your to-do-list that takes only 30 seconds to finish.Feeling a bit inspired? Then use as short a deadline to deal with another.Or focus on something by giving yourself only five minutes,and then work as long as you can.

2.Take lots of breaks.

Find yourself checking your cellphone or reading the Internet?【小题2】.Have some breaks,and you'll be able to face your work again with delight.

3.Use rewards.

One-hundred more words on this report,and you can have a cup of coffee.One more phone call,and you can check your personal email.【小题3】.

4.【小题4】.

Most of us spend too much of our day sitting.It's bad for our health and bad for our concentration.Take a walk or do some jumping in a free meeting room—anything to get you refreshed and your brain working again.

5.Work as a team.

When you have a big project deadline coming up,you can even keep a meeting room and work in the same place.【小题5】,but also you'll feel more connected to your co-workers while doing it.

Do you ever feel unwilling to submit your work unless it’s absolutely perfect? 【小题1】 Or, do you see every mistake as a huge failure instead of an important life lesson? If any of this sounds familiar, you might be a perfectionist.

Perfectionism is like an obsession. 【小题2】 It can also negatively affect your health, creativity and working relationships.

There are two types of perfectionism: adaptive perfectionism and maladaptive perfectionism. Adaptive perfectionists are always trying to build their skills and improve the quality of their work. 【小题3】 They hit deadlines and they constantly improve the work they do.

Maladaptive perfectionists, on the other hand, are never really satisfied with their achievements. 【小题4】 Because of this and because they do so much rework, they can spend a very long time delivering any work at all, meaning they miss deadlines and disappoint the people who depend on them.

【小题5】 If you approach your work this way, there are several things that you can do to challenge these behaviors, and create a healthier outlook.

Start by writing down everything you do that you think needs to be perfect. Next, think about each of these areas carefully. Once you’ve done this, come up with one specific way you can challenge each behavior. It takes time to overcome maladaptive perfectionism, but it is surely worth trying.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie” My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them and we always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull up her hair, she never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.
